FIRSTS: Message

Baby J loves to mash her hands on keyboards. Usually, I'm hesitant to let her do so. Experts advise that children under 2 steer clear of television and computers. Also, Baby J has a tendency to drool on things and a computer keyboard is not really something that should get wet. The strange way in which she mashes seems to cause funny things to happen on the computer (i.e. files moving around, obscure programs being opened, etc.). Finally, she pounds with such force sometimes I'm afraid she'll break a few keys.

But then I got to wondering...

What would Baby J type out if given the opportunity? Perhaps she has some hidden, secret message for me. Perhaps she's keen to play with a keyboard because she knows that's the only way she can get her message out. So today I let her have her way with the keyboard. I opened a new Word document to record the secret message. Here it is in its entirety:

egfth] mtxvrbc j cj ccbv/j nm mhnoooooooooooooooooooo,. yhnrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbhm

Oddly enough, this jumble of letters is not unlike many of the sounds she makes. She says something akin to "egfth" all the time.

Feel free to try and crack her code. There could be precious insight in there somewhere.
